220 Chapter 20 ES2
The Router
The ES2 features a modulation matrix, called the Router. If the vector envelope is
displayed, click the Router button to view the Router.
Any modulation source can be connected to any modulation target—much like an old-
fashioned telephone exchange or a studio patchbay. The modulation intensity—how
strongly the target is influenced by the source—is set with the associated vertical slider.
Note: To set the modulation intensity to zero, just click on the little zero symbol (the
small circle) right beside via.
The intensity of the modulation can also be modulated: The via parameter determines
yet another modulation source, which defines the amount or intensity of the
modulation.
Ten such modulations of source, via, and target can take place simultaneously, in
addition to those which are hard-wired outside the Router. The bypass (b/p) parameter
allows the disabling/enabling of individual modulation routings without losing settings
.
Note: Some modulations aren’t possible, due to technical reasons. As an example, the
envelope times can be modulated by parameters that are only available during a note-
on message. Therefore, there are situations where the envelopes are not available as
targets. Furthermore, the LFO 1 can’t modulate its own frequency. Values that are not
available are grayed out.
The Range of Via
The modulation intensity is set with the vertical slider. This is self-explanatory, as long
as the “via” parameter is set to off. This ensures that the modulation intensity is
constant, if not affected by any other controller (such as the modulation wheel or
aftertouch).
As soon as you select a value other than off for “via,” the slider is divided into two
halves. The lower half defines the minimum intensity of the modulation, when the via
controller is set to its minimum value. The upper half defines the maximum modulation
intensity when the via modulator (the modulation wheel, in this case) is set to its
maximum value. The area between the two slider halves defines the range that is
controlled by the via controller.
